tripoli now this followed a address by colonel gadhafi to his followers in the capital. this resulted in a protest where shots were fired by security forces at protesters now we're also hearing some very troubling geo comments coming out of tripoli suggesting that security forces pursued protesters to their homes in order to kill them and also that the bodies of the dead have been very very very quickly in order to cover up any atrocities that are taking place there are the number of days expected to be well over a thousand in the violence that we've seen in that country now on friday as well there was a comment from colonel gadhafi is favorite son saif these mouth piece if you will to the english speaking media he said that his family will die in tripoli if necessary they will live and die in libya the e.u. have said that they will put forward sanctions in the next week in the coming week this is from the this message from the e.u.

directing him to take action against him if he had been threatened right from the outset he personally opposed libya because i think what's being a moment is to control the future of libya so libya has a government like we were living if we don't like the sanctions but. let me just say. that i still have been told that. in his people who are doing the killing. and journalists in barrel a former executive editor over british paper being dependent says neighbors neighbors could intervene to remove kind of. continues if the days till in some weeks i do think there is a case where it's possible that we might look to some of our neighbors to see if it's possible to come in there is very little. it's main you know police. and a few years just rolled up in this season where people think it is. a very strict

incursion to get rid of the future. seen as people who played a pivotal role in getting rid of mubarak and. they would be treated i think if they came in to try and get rid of there is a possibility that they would be seen as a very very friendly force to come into such a. the cries in libya has sparked fears that all prices could spiral out of control sending transport and food cause soaring too with prices approaching one hundred twenty u.s. dollars a barrel this week analysts warn of a significant economic threat if the right spreads and in a good source explains how the shock waves from our turmoil are being felt in the u.s. . oil three little letters. could have dire consequences on any economy and here in the united states or oil is sometimes also accompanied by three big words drill baby drill and drill. and with those three words you got

yourself a political heat entrenched power house will drill new wells sure we'll drill them and the crisis in the middle east has only inflamed so what we have now are storing gas prices and fears of a relapse in the already weak economic recovery and on the heels of the unrest crude is heading for the biggest weekly increase in two years and when oil prices soar the price of food also skyrockets and so a vicious cycle begins for many americans a reality that is once again rallied the base and its spokespeople perhaps for the wrong reasons and whenever there's a crisis either here at home or abroad it's usually exploited politically by the government or the media it loves to hate and duffy is now threatening to burn up the oil fields experts are predicting a worst case scenario of two hundred twenty dollars a barrel if that happens i don't believe that this this particular interruption of

oil supplies will last very long so if you're trying to tie drilling offshore with what's happening in libya i think it's a bit of a stretch a stretch that some are all too willing to make the oil fields are on fire and we have no backup plan while he has lifted the moratorium in the gulf for drilling oil sales to cass sunstein no new permits have been issued the permits and backup plans aside what's really going to happen in an already ravaged economy where we see this in the middle east. and this in our very own midwest. so the last thing you need. the people who are. in the worst economic shape are the first ones to get hit by gas prices and this will cause a lot of discomfort to a lot of people who don't need this bad news concerns of violence spreading to other well producing nations in the region have been overshadowed and instead of

asking how americans will cope with this are asking the question that never gets answered but at the same time seems to never get built who are our friends who are our enemies for our teeth. anstey living from foreign policy magazine believes the or market has a right to say a crisis anytime soon so unstable produces like furry that can fill the gap caused by and the structural supply the markets have been calmed down over the last twenty four hours or a beer has gone around and quietly assured everyone we not only can add more volumes to the market but we have. the volume the difference that would create a situation in which prices would really skyrocket is there another country run our clients or you'd lost a million barrels a day is our line from libya if algeria rich is also having trouble getting it.

that would bring saudi arabia right up to its capacity to to substitute the volume then you would see i'm not sure two hundred twenty i think there's probably and trying to get headlines but but maybe one hundred fifty which is still pretty high . this is all see i have got plenty to come this hour for you including our weekly snapshot of opinion from the streets of new york. middle class audible it off or worth it to me that right now you know it's it's a lot of street much so the resident is on the streets and going to find out what people think about the tox not in america. weekly standard july sundries told you a london court ruling ordering his extradition to sweden on sex assault charges saying baseless and that he won't get a fair trial there are he's a lawyer and this has been looking at why he's being sent for trial but other

foreign citizens want to the brutal far more serious charges have been allowed to stand for it. wiki leaks founder julian our songs learns the courts has ordered his extradition to sweden to face questions over rape allegations and he's got some interesting questions of his own why is it. that i am starting. a nonprofit free speech activists who are three hundred and sixty thousand dollars bail. why is it that i am kept. under electronic house arrest. when i have not even been charged in any country he's not the only one asking not particularly as the british government has a history of crime saying asylum to some fairly controversial carrot says recently the immigration minister admitted one hundred thirty nine suspected war criminals have been given the right to settle in britain permanently that the two include

former henchmen of saddam hussein an afghan official who tortured prisoners and rwandan genocide perpetrators our basic tradition relating to asylum is that anybody can come here provided they are loading provided i got lots of money we will let them in because we want them in with their money and therefore it's not particularly the russian magnets and i only got so welcome here out of shakes who may have a jew bias criminal record as it were of torture yet they're allowed just want to round london knightsbridge water where ever since the second world war the u.k. seen only two successful convictions for war crimes and despite recent retrospective laws this allows suspects to be brought to justice in this country according to anti torture campaigners redress so far nothing has been done people like that should be investigated by the u.k.

police authorities. and if the fish in evidence found for prosecution. should be prosecuted here in the u.k. the always of bringing these people to it can't these suspects but it seems very little is being done the list of the rich and powerful on interpol's wanted list resident in the u.k. is long and around people wanted by russia alone and living here in two thousand and three alleged chechen terrorists akhmed zakayev was granted political refuge the same year asylum was granted to russian tycoon but he's berezovsky convicted of embezzlement in russia it shows here the hypocrisy of the british courts. he is quite clearly been involved in the matter here over the years all sorts of very serious offenses which she may actually quite literally equate with terrorism and yet he is not being extradited and yet we see here what appears to be anyway a trumped up charge of rape which hasn't actually even come to charges in sweden

this certainly does appear to show political interference in the court system here in britain and total hypocrisy from the british justice system while julian assange looks set to be cast from the safe harbor of the u.k. into choppy waters it's unlikely he'll think from ptrace just yet he may not have billions in the bank to buy himself out of trouble so he'll just have to hate his friends in high places have influence start this defense team has vowed to now take his case to the highest courts in the land in the hague preventing his extradition meanwhile some of the world's nastiest people suspected top truth terrorist and war criminals remain at large in the u.k. under the protection of the state's door and its r.t. . this is an account of the program russia chooses the phrase of the twenty fourth . the results are in and we now know the mascot or the mascots

fresh clashes between protesters and police violence erupted after several hundred people gathered outside the interior minister to mark ministry demanding changes to the interim government and as traitors are saying the new also it was doomed to break from the previous government of president ben ali it was in the january revolt that sparked similar protests in other countries in the middle east and north africa. and alan's ruling party leader fall is heading for a crushing defeat in the country's past general elections mr thousand and seven counting underway indicate the center right we've had gael will lead a new coalition government with the left of center labor party voters have punished feeder for wage cuts tax hikes and the loss of the national sovereignty of the last year is sixty seven billion euro bailout from the e.u. viewed as a relational as a national humiliation transference a bank and its own to the public's trolled as has plunged the country's largest

party for ages gaze into its birthplace and its worst ever election is different. and is growing in the us so with its super sized tax burden for the middle class it has quickly come to hurt as thousands have been protesting in one northern state i would plans to cut public sector workers collective benefits and this week he also people knew how they feel when they're required to make sacrifices and not the super. people across the u.s. are protesting proposed legislation intended to slash benefits for the middle class i think really protesting the fact that every day people are being asked to make sacrifices while wall streeters continue to profit even more this week let's talk about that i'm a member of the squeezed middle class and we say to wayne state evening we work for the office and first and friday we were for ourselves but stating that experience

do you think that people in the middle class are responsible at all for where the economy is that right now you know it's it's wall street and bush. so why isn't vaal street paying more and why aren't they being asked to contribute more to health plans because the government would prefer to buy their pay a muffin and bailing out the upper class probably pays ninety percent of the taxes or more in new york city and new york state it's probably the same thing in wisconsin i don't know the numbers but i think everybody's paying for it paying to keep the government moving so why are there isn't one riles up that if it if it seems like so clear cut you why is everyone so in a fit right now where people don't want to give up what they've got were not for the news coverage and or the social media and i'm not saying it's bad but we're not for the that type of coverage. we it would not be neither of these things either the middle east things or the things going on with the states would be quite as

hard as they are no matter who you think should be paying for the distressed economy the bottom line is that if you ask the middle class to relinquish benefits it's only fair to ask the same of the upper class as well. u.s. top military officials in afghanistan have ordered an investigation into claims that an american army unit five conducted play a manipulative visiting high officials wrote in stone magazine published how these psychological operations and files were used to get more money and troops who are also he's a military contributor and says this further reveals just how much the u.s. operation in afghanistan is being hidden from the public inadvertently these latest revelations about the psyops scandal gaining steam regarding the american leadership back in washington d.c. has also revealed their hypocrisy regarding the public coverage of the american

occupation you know again it stands just by the fact that half a year ago this psychological operations has been rebranded into the military information supported peroration in essence the whole american global information or to be precise this information campaign remains the same that is the most important and under with forty eight cards of these growing and unfolding drama regarding the american general unauthorized psychological operations against its political and military leadership back in washington d.c. . illegal.

or in this case the official mascots of the twenty fourteen olympic games in sochi in fact the snow leopard has won the majority of the vote so he is the clear winner and i was also lucky or putin's favorite but also the polar bear came in second and also after that the rabbit came in third so we now have three mascots who will be representing at the winter olympic games in two thousand and fourteen here in sochi as we know this was a process where the mascot was designed by the people of russia and it was voted on by the people of russia as well so of course the snow leopard coming in first becoming the mascot the symbol of the twenty fourteen olympic age and what that means is is that the winner the actual winning mascot will become the property of the olympic committee the international olympic committee that symbol will go on merchandising it will become not just a symbol of the olympic games but it will become

a symbol of russia as well and people internationally will become to identify this character as part of the olympic games and is part of russia's heritage and culture but need to retrace is just a little bit and tell you how this whole process went about six months ago the russian winter olympic committee said that they're going to open up a contest they're going to have the next mascot to be designed by russians for russians and chosen by russians once that contest was announced six months ago. all sorts of fun and fanciful ideas came out of the woodwork children were a big part of it they got involved in the race all sorts of different mascots and ideas were thrown out there in fact some of the ideas that were thrown out almost immediately was a skiing shotglass that was one idea and there's also one idea that he's a popularity a psychedelic toad if you will. of the massive amounts of entries that came in those were narrowed down by a committee of celebrities politicians as well as on. the producers who brought it

down to this it is a very small group this top ten group at that point in time an internet voting began and it was basically put to the russian public to say who do we want to be the next mascot for represents us in the twenty four two games now we also remember mischa the bear from the one nine hundred eighty s. and this was a very important character as well so now our snow leopard will join this this historical group of characters now also we have the fire boy and snow barrel they are also have been chosen to be the mascots of the para olympic games and so important night tonight as the mascots are chosen and now russia knows who will represent them in twenty forty. and you're up to date with the news here and i'll see i'm back with the headlines after the whole thing.
